I find it good that they act on it even if the guy is working with the president now.
Also it looks more loke a political issue than anything kespa actually did or did not do for the game.
Kespa has had a generally positive role in korean esport. At least in the beginning. They allowed players to get paid, being full time "employees" despite being underaged, having regular and law enforceable contracts (unlike scams players suffered in the foreign scene, not being paid etc...). Of course they ended up super rigid and all but those things come hand in hand usually.
@rude, may be because in korea they actually look into it more thoroughly, unlike, say, Mr Balkany (easy example ^^)
Also Life, though an amazing player, did a huge ammount of damage to the scene in Korea and was convicted. He fully deserves what he got.

Damn, save ESPORTS not kill it!

Wut, this sounds exactly like any US government lobbying ...
|
Is lobbying like this legal in US?
Lobbying itself is entirely illegal in Korea so I can't quite fathom how lobbying is legally done in US. What's the difference between lobbying and bribing a group to do one's bidding?

How juicy is this going to get?

I do not know anything about lobbying in Korea.
In US, there is a cap on political contribution and types of entity can make contributions.

But then there is this:

For me it is puzzling why LOTTE(one of the biggest retailers in Asia) needs a "operating license".

KeSPA will have to ban KeSPA for life.
|
The scapegoats got hit.
But will justice land a crit?
Rekrul might know it.

I suppose that depends on your definition of juicy. If by that you mean involving players in any real way, it almost certainly won't get very juicy.
|
Life was in fact a victim of a more complex conspiracy
|
Excessive power begets corruption. It is throughout history. No suprise honestly, as sad as it is..

could you stop mentioning life, it has nothing to do with him and not funny.

It could end up having something to do with him, and people, his fans and otherwise, certainly have plenty of unanswered question surrounding the entire situation.
We only know what we know, and I don't think we know a whole lot.

How would it have anything to do with him? Even if KeSPA officials told him he could match fix, it still wouldn't exonerate him.

does kespa also hold teamhouse reps too?
I'd think they are more valuable.

Who cares ? KeSPA dropped SC2 long time ago, so I don't really care about them. Shut them down and burn the building, as far as I am concerned.
|
Has no one ever thought of this as a possibility? They run a business lacking integrity... The contractual clause binding players to their will, as if they were slaves, somewhat tilt towards authoritarianism... They require 3rd parties to go through them as a filter to access players for invitationals, somewhat restrictive. There's an argument against this somewhere basing on MLB, NBA, NFL rules... but those are all monopolies in their own rights...whereas, KesPA isn't necessarily a monopoly.
